Your keyboard has an embedded ambient light sensor that reads and adapts the level of backlighting accordingly.

For dark-colored keyboards:

Room brightness	Backlight level

Mid light - between 100 and 200 lux	L4 - 50%

   When the environment around you is too bright, your keyboard will automatically disable backlighting to avoid using it when unnecessary. This will also allow you to use it longer with backlight in low-light conditions. You will see this notification when you try to turn backlighting ON.

MagSpeed adaptive scroll-wheel

The speed-adaptive scroll wheel shifts between two scrolling modes automatically. As you scroll faster, it will automatically shift from line-by-line scrolling to free-spinning.

• Line-by-line (ratchet) mode — ideal for precise navigation of items and lists.
• Hyper-fast (free-spin) mode — near-frictionless spinning, letting you fly through long documents and web pages.

Switch modes manually
You can also manually switch between modes by pressing the mode shift button.

By default, mode shift is assigned to the button on top of the mouse.
In the Logitech Options+ Software, you can decide to disable smart-shift if you prefer to stay in a single scrolling mode and always shift manually. You can also adjust the smartshift sensitivity, which will change the speed required to automatically shift into free spinning.

Thumb wheel

Scroll side to side effortlessly with a stroke of your thumb.

Install Logitech Options+ software to extend thumb wheel capabilities and more:

• Adjust thumbwheel scrolling speed, and direction

  • Navigate your timeline in Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Switch between tabs in the browser

  • Assign custom keystrokes to the wheel rotation (up and down)

Gesture Button

NOTE: On the Mac, enabling the back/forward buttons requires installation of Logitech Options+ software.

In addition to enabling the buttons for use with Macs, Logitech Options+ software lets you map other useful functions to the buttons, including undo/redo, OS navigation, zoom, volume up/down, and more.

Darkfield 8000 DPI sensor
Install Logitech Options+ software to enable the new capabilities of the Darkfield 8000 DPI Sensor

By default, the MX Master 3S has a 1000 DPI configuration
In the Logitech Options+ Software, you can extend the sensor range to up to 8000 DPI.

Enabling this option will allow you to work faster and more precisely, allowing you to adjust the pointer speed to match high resolution monitors.

App-Specific Settings
Your mouse buttons can be assigned to perform different functions for different applications. For instance, you can assign the thumb wheel to do horizontal scrolling in Microsoft Excel and zoom in Microsoft PowerPoint.

When installing Logitech Options+ , you will have the possibility to install predefined app-specific settings that will adapt the mouse button behavior to be optimized in selected applications.

Here are the app specific settings we have created for you:

	1	2	3

Browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari)	Open link in a new tab	Switch between tabs	Back / Forward
Microsoft Excel	Pan (Hold and move the mouse)	Horizontal scroll	Undo / Redo

Adobe Premiere Pro	Pan (Hold and move the mouse)	Horizontal timeline navigation	Undo / Redo
Apple Final Cut Pro	Pan (Hold and move the mouse)	Horizontal timeline navigation	Undo / Redo

With these settings, the Gesture button and the wheel mode-shift button are keeping the same functionality across all applications.

Each of these settings can be customized manually, for any application.

Flow
Work on multiple computers with a single MX Master 3S.

With Logitech Flow, you can use the mouse cursor to move from one computer to the next. You can even copy and paste between computers, and if you have a compatible Logitech Keyboard, such as MX Mechanical, the keyboard will follow the mouse and switch computers at the same time.

You will need to install Logitech Options+ software on both computers and follow these instructions.
